The Festival of the New European Bauhaus 2026: Life. Spaces. Buildings.

The Festival of the New European Bauhaus returns for its third edition on 9–13 June 2026 in Brussels, Belgium — and you’re invited to be part of it!
This unique celebration of creativity, collaboration, and innovation will explore the transformative power of democratic engagement in building communities that are inclusive, sustainable, and beautiful. From affordable housing to citizen-led design, the Festival will put life first, then spaces, then buildings.

- Forum – inspiring discussions and idea exchanges.
- Fair – a showcase of groundbreaking projects and prototypes.
- Fest – art, culture, and collective celebration.
- Satellite Events – NEB-inspired activities across Brussels and beyond.
